Ballinglen Exhibition

A solo exhibition by Ron Rumford  'Coast Watcher' at the Ballinglen Gallery, Ballinglen Arts Foundation from Saturday 3rd June  and continues until June 26th 2017.
Ron is pleased to have this opportunity to show the progression of works made over a four year period. 

I am also deeply honoured to be part of the Ballinglen Arts Foundation's 25th Anniversary celebrations.
The success of the Foundation is tribute to the vision hatched in 1992 by Margo Dolan and Peter Maxwell for a fellowship residency program that hosts international artists and their families in this remote and warm-welcoming community of Ballycastle on the extraordinary coast of North County Mayo,

Republic of Ireland .

In addition to my newest work we will install within the gallery, 'Giant Steps': 25 years of prints by
Ballinglen Arts Foundation Fellows with works from the Foundation Archive by international artists. 

Do come along and see these wonderful prints!
